There is a lot of talk about Windows maintenance. What services should turn off? Which utilities should I use? To sleep or hibernate? Here’s a article from Lifehacker. It is the best article I have seen on the subject.

Here are some of the topics which I agree…

  1. Using “Microsoft Security Essentials” is as good as using third party security apps.
  2. Users should not have Administrator privileges.
  3. Physically cleaning the your computer can increase performance radically.
  4. “Registry cleaning” is over-rated. I would go a step further. Registry cleaning ranges from completely unnecessary to harmful.
